Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

In 3-Color Sunburst, the Player II Mustang Bass PJ combines a compact offset alder body with a 30-inch scale and a maple Modern C neck. Its passive PJ setup offers three direct choices from the toggle switch: the Alnico V Precision Bass split-coil, the Alnico V Jazz Bass bridge single-coil, or both together. That makes it easy to move from thicker fundamentals to a more defined bridge voice without managing separate pickup volumes. A master volume, master tone, rolled-edge 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard and 19 medium-jumbo frets complete the specified layout.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Working through a live set with fast pickup selection from a single three-way toggle switch.
  • Players after a 30-inch-scale Mustang Bass with both split-coil and bridge single-coil pickup voices.
  • Recording bass lines that call for either thicker fundamentals or a more articulate bridge-pickup response.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Left-handed players, because this version is specified as right handed.
  • Those seeking two independent pickup volume controls; it uses master volume and master tone controls.
  • Buyers who require a bundled case or gig bag.
